Once everyone had left, Zhou Xiaobai draped the 'Invisibility Veil' over his body, spread his golden wings, and flew straight into the sky.

On his way back to the city, he saw a person on the summit of the western mountain outside the city.

At that time, he considered returning to the city first to inform Nezha of his safety, and also did not want to disturb that person.

Although he only glanced briefly at the person on the summit, the black Qilin conveyed a danger warning to him.

Keep in mind that he was flying in the air, extremely far from the peak. The fact that the black Qilin still sent him a warning from such a distance indicates that the person was in great danger.

He remained hidden, but instead of heading directly to the western peak, he observed from a distance first.

"Have they left?" He found no one on the summit.

Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, he flew closer to the summit.

But then he saw a stone table on the summit, and a teacup on the table, and he was startled.

Although there was no one around at the moment, judging from the scene, that person probably hadn't gone far and could return at any time.

Zhou Xiaobai only thought for a moment before making a decision. He flashed into the imprint space, which was located next to the stone table.

He wanted to see who was hiding there.

You must know that this is the epicenter of a great calamity. Anyone in the world who knows about this will stay far away, for fear of being affected and entering a killing calamity.

While looking at the stone table, Zhou Xiaobai began to review the "Taiyi Yanming Five Thunders" in his mind.

This supernatural power, which I obtained from Xin Huan's wings, is still barely usable. It requires constant comprehension and practice to be able to use it freely.

Of course, the best option is for the Demon Child to have some free time to comprehend the "Taiyi Flame Bright Five Thunders".

However, since he had nothing else to do at the moment, Zhou Xiaobai was also very curious about the "Taiyi Yanming Five Thunders".

The Heavenly Court's Thunder Department's Righteous Law is a powerful weapon used by the Heavenly Court to suppress the mortal realm.

As he was pondering this, he suddenly noticed a person standing beside the stone table. This person was frowning slightly, sensing something in the void.

Zhou Xiaobai was shocked. Could this person have discovered the Imprint Space?

The Imprint Space is his greatest source of confidence. He dares to do some risky things because the Imprint Space is there to protect him.

"Someone came by, but could they just be passing through?" the man muttered to himself.

He glanced again at the teacup on the stone table. Although it wasn't some kind of magic treasure, it was definitely not an ordinary object. If someone had really been here, it would have been impossible for them not to take the teacup.

"It seems the end of the Demon Court still has such a strong impact on me. If I can't resolve this knot in my heart, I'm afraid I'll never have another chance to become a saint!" His next words to himself made Zhou Xiaobai, who was eavesdropping, stand on end.

The Demon Court was something that happened in the last great calamity. Not to mention their generation, even among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, few participated.

If this person wasn't exaggerating, then his strength was at least close to that of a Quasi-Saint. A Quasi-Saint who had lived since the Demon Court era was right in front of him; how could Zhou Xiaobai not be afraid?

"Chan Sect and Jie Sect, you should fight amongst yourselves until you both are severely injured!" the man said again.

He looked up at the sky, and Zhou Xiaobai, who was close by, could see the vicissitudes and reminiscence in his eyes.

The stand lasted for a full two hours, and finally, the figure vanished in a flash, along with the teacup on the stone table.

Zhou Xiaobai watched it disappear, but did not immediately leave the imprint space.

He didn't know if the person was pretending to leave to lure him out, or if they had left a backup plan.

After waiting another six hours, he finally emerged from the marked space wearing an 'invisibility veil'.

Before leaving the imprint space, he gathered his dragon ball, the magic power in his body, and even most of his aura within the imprint space, relying entirely on his wings to fly away from the peak.

He finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he got back to the granary.

The brief encounter atop the mountain was more exhausting than a full-blown battle with Xin Huan.

He was able to ensure his own safety in the battle against Xin Huan.

But the feeling that person gave him was that as soon as that person knew of his existence, he would surely perish on the spot.

"As expected, this is the center of the great calamity. Anyone I encounter here is extremely dangerous. But who exactly is that person?" Zhou Xiaobai wondered to himself.

He wouldn't say what was on his mind. That person was too confident, which is why he revealed his thoughts. It might be that person's way of regulating their mood, but he also revealed his secret to him.

It's related to the Demon Court, and it seems they want to incite conflict between the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect. I believe that person will appear in the future without me having to look for them.

Seventy miles outside Xiqi City, at the Qishan Camp in Chaoge, Grand Tutor Wen invited the last Golden Light Holy Mother back to meet with the nine Taoists who had arrived earlier.

After he had arranged for the Taoist priests to be properly seated, he immediately raised his tent and summoned all the generals.

Despite having just suffered a major defeat, the generals were extremely excited to see so many powerful Daoists arrive.

"Where is Xin Huan?" Grand Tutor Wen was about to speak when he realized that one of his generals was missing, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Reporting to the Grand Tutor, Xin Huan has not returned since she went out on that day!" Deng Zhong stepped forward and replied.

Xin Huan hadn't returned these past few days, and as the eldest brother, he was extremely worried. He had always thought that Xin Huan might still be carrying out Grand Tutor Wen's mission, but now, after hearing Grand Tutor Wen's question, he realized that Xin Huan had really run into trouble.

Given Xin Huan's personality, she wouldn't stay away for such a long time, no matter how much she delayed.

"Send spies to search immediately!" Grand Tutor Wen knew things were bad, but still gave the order with a glimmer of hope.

He recalled that the order he had given was for Xin Huan to retrieve the Ink Kirin and kill Ao Ding, the grain official of Xiqi.

Even if Xin Huan is unable to complete the mission, he is unlikely to die. Even if he is surrounded and killed by the Xiqi generals, he can escape by using his wings to fly.

"All generals, listen to my command! We will march on Xiqi City tomorrow!" Grand Tutor Wen suppressed his unease and gave the order in a deep voice.

The next day, the army set off. Not long after leaving Qishan, a scout came to Grand Tutor Wen.

"What is it?" Grand Tutor Wen was explaining the situation of Xiqi City to ten Taoists when he saw the scout arrive and asked casually.

"Reporting to the Grand Tutor, we have news of General Xin!" the scout said, bowing his head.

"How is he?" Grand Tutor Wen asked hurriedly.

The scout hesitated; the army had just set out, and it was not a good time to report this news.

"Speak!" Grand Tutor Wen said emphatically.

"News from Xiqi says General Xin is dead!" the scout reported.

Upon hearing this news, Grand Tutor Wen swayed twice and almost fell off his horse.

"Brother!" Deng Zhong, who was standing nearby, cried out in grief upon hearing the news.

"Who harmed Xin Huan?" Grand Tutor Wen asked, regaining his composure.

"No news has come from Xiqi!" the scout said, shaking his head.

"There is one person who must know this. Once we take Xiqi City, we will capture this person!" Grand Tutor Wen said through gritted teeth.

The person he was referring to was Zhou Xiaobai. Regardless of the circumstances, Xin Huan was going to kill Zhou Xiaobai. Now that Xin Huan is dead, even if Zhou Xiaobai didn't kill her, it's still related to him.
